Hi: I'm quite new with courier, and I've a server running it since a few days for testing. I another discussion list about other mail server, someone wrote: "No doubt! Courier has an interesting (and evidently fairly well-known) little problem where you can "freak" it out and it'll spawn dozens of child processes and start "sending" itself so many messages that it'll bring your system logger to its knees by overloading it (sending it waaaaaaaay too much data waaaaay too fast for it to process or even queue to "catch up") by an order of magnitude and ultimately panic the kernel. I've seen that happen frequently enough in Courier that I call it "the loop of death." Its test-script simulates something like that on a smaller scale (so you can determine whether your system logger will have a problem in the event this as yet unresolved bug rears its ugly head) but in operation, if it seems to get something in a message header it didn't quite expect, watch out!"
Is this true? I'm using the last version, 0.37.2. Leonardo _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
